Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, in the case that a user does not want a space to be printed instead of a real image, there is a problem because printing paper, ink, and/or toner is wasted.
In addition, according to the conventional image forming apparatus, even if the real image is printed without printing the spaces in the original document image, the printing is still performed as a page unit, thereby causing another problem.
However, when the printing is performed
